COMVAX (Hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b antigens) vaccine was removed from routine use in the Victorian immunisation infant schedule in March 2008.
COMVAX vaccine was replaced by the combination vaccine Infanrix hexa® (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, Hepatitis B, Poliomyelitis, Haemophilus influenzae type b).
